He was born in 1929 & was the great-grandson of the founder of modern Kuwait, Mubarak al-Sabah, who signed a “Treaty of Friendship” with Britain in 1899 that saw it become a protectorate. Emir Sheikh Sabah became Kuwait’s Foreign Minister in 1963 – 2 years after Britain recognized Kuwait’s independence.  He held the position until 1991, following the end of the 7-month long Iraqi occupation. He was reappointed Foreign Minister in 1992 & served until 2003 when he was named Prime Minister by his half-brother Emir Sheikh Jaber al-Ahmad of Kuwait. Emir Sheikh Sabah became Kuwait’s ruler himself in 2006, after Emir Sheikh Jaber died & his cousin Emir Sheikh Saad al-Abdullah stepped down 9 days into his rule as parliament moved to depose him on helath grounds. He was dubbed the “dean of Arab diplomacy” for his efforts to restore relations with states that backed Iraq during the 1990-1991 Gulf War. He also often acted as a mediator in regional disputes, including the ongoing diplomatic stand-off between Saudi Arabia & Qatar. He similarly refrained from intervening in Syria’s civil war, instead hosting several donor conferences for humanitarian aid. In July 2020 he was flown to the USA for medical treatment following surgery for an unspecified condition in Kuwait that month.
